A sleepy coral atoll home to just a single village, Ahe Atoll is an off-the-beaten track part of one of the world’s most gorgeous island nations. Located at the northern tip of the Tuamotu Archipelago, the little atoll forms a closed ring with a clear lagoon in the centre, accessible by just a single entry point for ships. And sailors have always been fond of this outlying archipelago, including the famous French navigator and author Bernard Moitessier. An icon among sailors, he came across Ahe on one of his many South Pacific voyages, and was so struck by the abundant beauty and peaceful way of life that he stayed for years.

Few properties become available in this remote paradise, but one 20-acre island in Ahe is currently on the market. Offered at US $640,000, the island has everything one could want in a tropical paradise; perfect sandy beaches, exotic jungle, and a friendly and welcoming local community. The island is ideal for a relaxed seasonal home, or even a small eco-tourism venture to take advantage of the area’s incredible diving and snorkelling. Renowned for its natural beauty and thriving black pearl farms, Ahe is perfect for the adventurous spirit seeking a less commercial alternative to Bora Bora, and a place you may just want to drop anchor for good.
